There is a history of China cracking down on Tibetan Monks, tearing down temples, etc.

Several Republican Amendments were removed from the final version of the bill, including blocking Palestinian Refugees, defunding the Pier in Palestine used to ship necessary aid in, stopping any military academy from engaging in Critical Race Theory, blocking reproductive care reimbursement for military, among many other things.
If you want to read up on it, heres a good SUMMARY
Actually, Biden signed the congressional budget 5 days ago averting Shutdown. Democrats don't want shutdown, Republicans do.
Term limits don't stop the seat from voting, it just makes the seat more likely to promote change and new ideas and perspectives. It actively helps remove the oldest members of congress. There will always be a senate or congress seat, the term limit is for the person sitting in it.
Because the election was a month ago and a new congress is about to take over immediately after a recess, at which point Trump will be entering office. Either a bipartisan bill passes now or a conservative one passes after January.
I AM HORN.
No. If the insurance didn’t create the atmosphere of territorial turfing, prices would be naturally set by competition. They would be much more accessible.
Hospitals aren't very competitive. Theres maybe 1 in a large town and that's it. Small practices are already competitive. You do have a point about insurance companies intentionally driving costs up, but the hospital networks themselves have even more say and the only way to take that power away is having regulators set the prices and not the providers.
Let us not forget the amount of claims that get denied in order to guarantee financial solvency for the middleman parasites.
Average 18% denied, less than a percentage of denied claims appealed. So 82% of claims get covered.
Yeah. Let’s just support this nonsense by printing more money. /s
Actually, as I mentioned, the government would spend less than they currently do.
Direct violence is out of fashion. Now it is all about systematic financial crippling into homelessness and starvation.
Because nobody ever wins with direct violence. Everyone loses.
If he didn't sign it then families would have just gone without coverage and the military would be unfunded until Trump entered office and signed it regardless. In fact, handing it off to the next congress could result in an even worse bill.
Out of curiosity if I made you choose between:
-
0% of military troops' families getting salaries and healthcare
-
100% of military troops' families getting salaries and healthcare with the sole exception of trans care
What would you choose?
Although, honestly, since we're in hypotheticals and foresight, Biden could have let them go without pay and possibly triggered a Bonus Army type scenario where the military protests.
It doesn't cover their hormone replacement and other trans care, but it still covers all their sickness and injuries.
Reminds me of when China sent in riot squads to tear down temples.
The fuck do these Tankies think the justification is? Looking to bust the Dali Lama's cocaine smuggling ring?
